Something big is stirring in Springfield, Missouri. After being inactive on campus since 2022, Occupy Missouri State University is coming back—and the journey to relaunch has been nothing short of a faith-filled sprint.

With less than two weeks to get the machine running, Pastor Trevor and Allyssa Clayton are leading the charge. Their days are full, their schedules are packed, and their hearts are fixed on one goal: seeing students encounter the authentic presence of God on their campus once again.

Rebuilding from the Ground Up

Right now, Occupy MSU is in the crucial stage of rebecoming an official student organization—a process that requires paperwork, approvals, and plenty of meetings. While that’s moving forward, the team is also:

  • Training new staff to carry the vision and lead with excellence.

  • Meeting students on campus to build relationships and cast vision.

  • Developing an executive board of student leaders to shape the future of the ministry.

  • Praying intentionally for the campus, the students, and the upcoming launch.

  • Meeting regularly with the Occupy Global staff to stay aligned with the broader mission.

  • Raising financial support to make sure the ministry can start strong and sustain its impact.

  • Balancing daily life—family, jobs, studies, and all the responsibilities that come with it.

A Race Against Time—Fueled by Purpose

The timeline is tight, but the team is driven by the urgency of the call. Every conversation, every prayer, every meeting matters. Pastor Trevor and Allyssa know that what they’re building now will shape the culture and momentum of Occupy MSU for years to come.

Why This Matters

Missouri State University holds a special place in the heart of the Occupy movement—it’s where it all began in 2016. The relaunch isn’t just about restarting services; it’s about reigniting a fire that has the potential to impact the campus, the city, and beyond.

How You Can Pray and Support

As the countdown continues, you can join the journey by:

  • Praying for favor with the student organization approval process.

  • Praying for divine connections with students and leaders on campus.

  • Supporting financially to help meet startup needs and ongoing ministry expenses.

  • Encouraging the team through messages, visits, and sharing the vision.

The road to relaunch is full of challenges, but the vision is clear: create an environment where students can experience dynamic worship, a relevant word, and a life-changing atmosphere.

This is more than a comeback—it’s the start of a new chapter. And it’s happening now.
